A MASTERPIECE OF DRAMA


Marlon Brando was THE actor of the golden age of Hollywood, but often misleading the public with his looks and not his acting. Story about a possessive love and hate relationship between him and Vivien Leigh was precisely one of those scripts that grew more ripe over the decades, still being able to shock and move the viewer even long after its protagonists were gone.

Tennessee Williams was one of the most successful writers to be adapted into movie scripts in that era and Elia Kazan was one of the best directors to do such a task, which resulted into 12 nominations for ”oscars”, including all the major categories. Acting earned 4 of those noms giving the ”golden boys” to Malden, Hunter and Leigh, leading to some impeccable one-on-one scenes of pure intensity, unparalleled deep into the 21st century.

If you want to watch one of the Top 10 American movie dramas of all times, you should definitely watch ”A streetcar named desire”.
